It is generally recognized that the movement of cells and cell masses is an essential factor in morphogenesis.‘The most obvious movements concerned in the development of the Metazoa are those of cell aggregates, but these are often complicated by their association with growth or increase in mass. On the other hand, the movements of single cells, involving growth only to a very slight extent, are less complex and, at the same time, with our present methods of tissue culture, are readily amenable to observation and experiment. The mechanism of this movement is the streaming of the cell protoplasm, and the ontogenetic results depend upon the physical properties of the protoplasm itself and the stimuli which act upon it. The importance of such factors in development was fully recognized twenty years ago by ROUX~ in his experimental study of the behavior of isolated cells of the frog’s blastula, and by Herbst? in his ‘Reizphysiologie.’Even before this Loeb4 had considered the tropisms of cells, and had shown that the arrangement assumed by certain chromatophores in the fish embryo is dependent upon a stimulus emanating from the circulating blood. Somewhat later Driesch5 also took up the question and found a
